After wearing PPE kits they render services for 7 to 8 and during the period they cannot consume water food or tea, besides in the PPE kits they even sweat a lot which is a tough job, stated the minister.
He said the opposition is purely making a mockery out of themselves while cursing the government on the covid-19 situation in hospitals they should rather visit the hospital themselves and see how well the health workers are doing their job.
